Congratulations Americans (and Australians)

Riverbend, an Iraqi blogger, reminds us what the "liberation" of her country has brought:

"We literally laugh when we hear the much subdued threats American politicians make towards Iran. The US can no longer afford to threaten Iran because they know that should the followers of Sadr, Iranian cleric Sistani and Badir’s Brigade people rise up against the Americans, they’d have to be out of Iraq within a month. Iran can do what it wants - enrich uranium? Of course! If Tehran declared tomorrow that it was currently in negotiations for a nuclear bomb, Bush would have to don his fake pilot suit again, gush enthusiastically about the War on Terror and then threaten Syria some more.

"Congratulations Americans - not only are the hardliner Iranian clerics running the show in Iran- they are also running the show in Iraq. This shift of power should have been obvious to the world when My-Loyalty-to-the-Highest-Bidder-Chalabi sold his allegiance to Iran last year. American and British sons and daughters and husbands and wives are dying so that this coming December, Iraqis can go out and vote for Iran influenced clerics to knock us back a good four hundred years."

This is what the "Coalition" has created in the Middle East. Would anybody like to discuss how well the country is progressing?

It'd be funny...if it wasn't so tragic. The plan was never to make Iraq a democracy...and only ideologues believed it was.

And it is absolutely no coincidence that the day the reformist movement in Iran started to decline was the exact same day Bush made his axis of evil speech.

What will occur is a total destruction of the Irani ability to wage war or attack any country. But there will be no occupation.

They will have to rebuild on their own. The US government has learned the lesson of Iraq.

They are not europeans. No Marshall plan for the vanquished.

Ibrahamav,
your rantings become more delusional by the day. Yes, America should invade every country it doesn't like, but in a benign way.
Yet another armchair general, you are.
Grow up.
